Pierre Deschamps Sancerre 2012

Loire, France

Pierre Deschamps Sancerre is a white wine gem of 100% Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley of France. Sancerre is an old fortified town that stands sentry on a loop of the Loire River. The Loire Valley is famous for its noble chateaux and for producing some of the world's finest white wines. Pierre Deschamps Sancerre is a fine, ripe aromatic Sauvignon Blanc grown on the unique terres blanches-limestone-rich clay soil that gives freshness and minerality to the wines of this region.

Pierre Deschamps Sancerre is pale yellow-green in color with crisp acidity. Medium in body, it has bright citrus and floral-scented fruit balanced with weight and richness on the palate. It offers flavors of lime, stone fruit, orange zest and mineral notes. It has a tantalizingly long and complex finish, the hallmark of a fine wine.

Enjoy Pierre Deschamps Sancerre over the next 3-4 years as an aperitif and with grilled salmon, fried oysters, sushi, chicken salad and goat cheese.
